With Understanding Comes Appreciation
The one word virtually everyone can agree on in any discussion of the work of composer John Zorn is "prolific" in the strictest sense of the definition. I don’t think someone is close in that regard considering only official releases. Frank Zappa is probably on par in terms of number of compositions which have seen the sunlight, but not even close in the number of records though (127); John doubles the genius in that figure, at least until the vault and UM say the opposite, but other than the master, again, I don’t think someone is even close.
So the following post is an attempt to build a comprehensive guide of the massive official catalog of John Zorn (330+), which at times is not clear nor easy how to get or dive into it; so I ordered it by his different projects, series and groups hoping it could work as a "Bible" of his discography. It also includes all his album collaborations (37), in which he fully collaborated with other artists, some featured albums (5), in which he had limited participation, a couple of rarities, and some chamber compositions performed by other great musicians —the latter is not considered in the official numbering I'm presenting and assembling below though, those are just mentioned in the list for the sake of demanding & curious fans.
Each group (band/ensemble), project and series shows you the number of albums, songs and its duration in hours and minutes. Each album as well, indicates its year of release, its digital resolution, and whether it is available for streaming or not on Apple Music. The latter has been a matter of interest and discussion by plenty of fans since the catalog was released for streaming, so I guess it is going to be worthy, mostly since some albums are not that easy to find regardless the streaming platform.
Regarding Apple Music, I’d rather use its service over other streaming platforms for several reason (I think it is worth to go deeper on this in other post, so I promise I’ll do it in the close future), but for my purpose here, its main advantage is that it lets you import the albums from your CDs in lossless resolution, which are not available for streaming in its service to your library, which in Zorn’s case, the number of albums that are not available for streaming are 63, i.e. 18% of his official catalog, not a minor thing —at least not for your obsessive Shark here, and mostly when you also consider that some of his most iconic projects like The Masada Book No. One, The Bagatelles Collection and the Naked City Albums for instance, are not available for streaming. Not to mention, it lets you create cool smart-playlists by doing queries of each group, series or project, so you don’t have to drag and drop each album/song in order to assemble a certain playlist of your preference. The latter takes a lot of relevance specially when you are dealing with such large catalog as John’s.
I'm also sharing not only the images of the playlists I created on Apple Music, based on the information presented here; i.e. based on the classification of the series, projects and groups, but the links to those public playlists. Just click on the image or the underlined title of the playlist and voilà! The latter will save you a lot of time if you want to assemble them manually; again, you just have to click on the link and add them to your library on Apple Music. Also, each series, project or band presents as well an engaging description at a glance, to orient the listener what kind of music will likely hear in a specific playlist. These descriptions are also available for their visualization in the playlists on Apple Music. The images of the playlists as well show the description of a remarkable album, which could serve as a point of entry to a certain series or ensemble. Since our alchemist master covered a lot of ground in music, the latter could help to open the curiosity of newbies and casual fans, and even to open the appetite of some more familiar and hardcore fans to explore new territories in his music. It's also worth to mention that I also created cool minimalistic cover arts for each playlist on Apple Music, so this is also an attempt to be aligned to the whole superb art that John also offers escorting his music. These cover arts of the playlists on Apple Music can be distinguished by 3 colors; black for groups/bands/ensembles, yellow for series and projects, and white for miscellanies.
I’m also sharing a very cool map (link) made by emmanuel888 (instagram account), which graphically guide us throughout his massive discography. While it is not updated, it considers a big chunk of his catalog presented here, and shows us a cool holistic overview of his prolific career —similar to what I did with Frank Zappa’s discography and shared in other post at this corner; check it out if you are interested (A Treasure-Map of the Official Discography of Frank Zappa).
Yes, I'll keep this updated, so I encourage you to subscribe to my blog and follow this post to stayed tuned.
Said that, hopefully this artisanal yet state-of-the-art guide, works as a Bible to orient fans and curios fellas to the music of our beloved alchemist master, John Zorn.
Enjoy!

This is not "music" in terms of traditional rhythm, tonal centres, or anything of that sort. It's hardly even free jazz. Formed by Zorn's formal instructions or moves chosen by the player, the recordings collected here present a discontinuous world of discrete sounds. Zorn's signature jump-cut aesthetics on display throughout the box. Here, however, a rawness takes form. This music bristles with energy that turns on and off as easily as a light switch. Historically this is arguably as important a set as any Blue Note or Prestige milestone... one can often hear things in this collection which echo more vividly than much of Zorn's more obvious 'outrageous' work. The Parachute Years: 1977–1981 is a compilation album 7-CD box set by John Zorn. It features recordings of Zorn's game pieces originally released as self-produced albums on the Parachute label as well as previously unreleased performances.

After over 40 years there is still no one who plays the sax quite like John Zorn. Using the instrument as sound maker, he commands a saxophone language of unmatched versatility. John Zorn's infamous solo music for saxophone and duckcalls bring together his obsessive love for cartoon music, free jazz and musique concréte in a passionate and astonishing heterophony. The maverick composer, arranger and saxophonist first came to prominence in the early '80's as an improviser. Using self-invented techniques, bizarre effects and unusual tools, Zorn created his own personal instrumental language - instantly recognizable and still breathtaking over decades to come. Filled with wit, drama, playfulness and intensity, the composer’s legendary virtuosity and powerful improvisational logic is on full display in these astonishing releases."This music is both exhilarating and frightening. Although the musical ideas can be traced back to earlier recordings such as Mikhail Zoetrope and up to more recent works such as my duos with Yamantaka Eye this stuff still sounds like it's coming from outerspace." —John Zorn

One of the central sources for the conception behind these pieces, oddly enough, was the Avalon Hill game company, which created strategic simulation games involving arcane sets of rules, dice rolls, etc., in an effort to approximate, for example, war planning and theory. Zorn, a games aficionado with an affinity for elastic rules systems, developed a unique, expansive, and highly flexible series of prompts and rules, taught and distributed them to many of the downtown New York City musicians of the early '80s, and staged numerous highly entertaining performances of the ensuing "conflicts." At such an event, inevitably more viscerally enjoyable than a recording of same, Zorn would hold up cards with symbols, usually choosing certain small combinations of players. These symbols could instruct, among many other things, that the musicians improvise in a certain style (surf guitar, free noise, punk, etc.) and/or could delimit the duration, volume, and so on. He would thus spontaneously organize a composition that, for all its apparent anarchy, was actually following a relatively strict set of assumptions. The kicker was that the players could counteract his commands, forming ad hoc blocs, cooperate or betray said blocs, form alliances "against" other players, etc. As an audience member, one saw a wonderful display of real-time politics combined with art creation, and the result was often spectacular.

Naked City's intense and groundbreaking music combining free jazz, bebop, r&b, country, funk, rockabilly, surf, metal and grindcore—usually in the same song! Naked City was something of an avant-rock/free jazz New York supergroup in the late '80s and early '90s, featuring an all-star cast of New York jazz experimentalists and led by the most-famous downtown musician of them all, John Zorn. Comprised of Zorn on alto sax, Wayne Horvitz on keyboards, Bill Frisell on guitar, Fred Frith on bass, and Joey Baron on drums (and occasionally vocalist Yamatsuka Eye), Naked City, more than any other Zorn-led group, established him with a rock audience. The band had an enormous repertoire and its sets were famously unpredictable. Zorn says that he conceived the band as a compositional workshop; the challenge was to write as much as possible within the limited format. Once he stopped "hearing and writing for the band," it disbanded.

Drawing equally from the tradition of jazz, hardcore punk, dub, ambient and much more, Painkiller has created some of the most intense music you're ever likely to hear, enclosed in some of the most deliriously beautiful artwork you're ever likely to see. Pain Killer, formed in 1991, includes John Zorn on alto sax, Bill Laswell on bass, and onetime Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris. Zorn is a well-known bebop and free jazz artist, while Laswell has played free jazz with several groups and produced albums for jazz, metal, alternative, and pop artists; both are very active on the New York City avant-garde jazz scene. PainKiller grew out of Zorn's admiration for death-metal/grindcore groups like Napalm Death, whom he praised as having the same intensity as 1960s free jazz; the music is a unique and challenging hybrid of the two.

The Masada Quartet was formed by John Zorn to perform new material he began composing in 1993 and 1994 as he consciously set out to explore references to Jewish tradition in his own music. The name Masada is used to refer to both this original quartet and the book of 205 compositions that Zorn created as the band's repertoire. Zorn's Masada compositions integrate elements of klezmer, Eastern and Middle music with jazz, avant-garde, and classical, to produce this new form of Jewish music. It does not emphasize the unity and permanence of the Jewish experience, but rather its many facets and aspects. Zorn doesn't draw on one tradition, but on many. Like Zorn's Great Jewish Music series on Tzadik, he identifies Jewish music as not just klezmer, but all kinds of music that Jews of the ages have lived with, composed and performed. All these types of music, from Mahler's symphonies to Burt Bacharach's pop melodies and Lou Reed's dissonant rock are echoed in the Masada songbook.

The magical interplay and incredible virtuosity of this exhilarating trio of string masters has made it one of the most beloved and acclaimed of all Masada ensembles. Their breathtaking virtuosity, extraordinary passion and telepathic interplay has increased over the years and now their performances set a new standard for excitement, concentration and commitment. These three brilliant musicians, under the “baton” of the composer himself present a varied program of delicate lyricism, poignant ballads and driving blasts of energy. New music for the new millennium drawing upon classical, jazz and gypsy folk traditions through the postmodern lens of Radical Jewish Culture.

Working on Masada series albums in early 90-s, John Zorn made some recordings using Masada material, but arranged for small orchestra. Later this 1994-1996 recordings were released at separate album under Bar Kokhba name. This project was frozen till 1998, when new excellent double album was recorded, called The Circle Maker. First CD was recorded by classical-cum-chamber of previous Bar Kokhba project musicians (Mark Feldman (violin), Erik Friedlander (cello), and Cohen, (bass)) under the name The Masada String Trio. Second album of the CD was recorded with another team of former Bar Kokhba project musicians (in fact, The Masada String Trio plus Marc Ribot (guitar), Cyro Baptista (percussion) and Joey Baron (drums)). This new line-up was named as Bar Kokhba Sextet. The performing style of both groups is characterized by the use of improvisation (sometimes conducted by Zorn himself) and its use of the inflections of Jewish music that are part of the compositional language of Zorn's Masada themes.
Some years later The Masada String Trio released few more albums under its own name.

Electro-acoustic excursion for 3 wind machines and 2 controlled feedback systems dedicated to Edgar Varese, and a virtuosic classical chamber piece for violin, percussion and piano. These are framed by a poly-rhythmic etude for percussion and celeste and a charming nostalgic lullaby. Running the gamut of styles from moody exotica, hardcore punk, classical, jazz, surf, world music and more. This series also includes a side of John Zorn you’ve rarely heard, the music of The Gift is both relaxing and stimulating, like feeling perfectly at home in a place you’ve never been before. John Zorn "for lovers only."

John Zorn’s rep as the angry bad boy of the downtown avant-garde has always been a bit of a caricature. His music has long stressed wit and beauty as much as squeals and hollers. But in the 2000's, he tapped into a buoyant, almost gentle lyricism while still sounding distinctively Zorn. It started in 2005 with a new series of compositions that he called “Book of Angels: Masada Book Two.” Masada was the quartet he formed in the early ‘90s (one of that decade’s most exciting and signature jazz bands). More to the point here, it was a book of eventually over 300 compositions that he wrote—jazz heads, each written in one of the two “Jewish scales,” a major scale with the 2nd note flat or a minor scale with the 4th note sharp. Zorn didn’t specify instrumentation in this sheet music, so the tunes could be played by any sort of ensemble. First there was the quartet (with Zorn himself on alto sax); then there were the Masada String Trio, Bar Kokhba (a sextet with strings and percussion), Electric Masada, and others. “Book of Angels” continued this tradition, but with more emphasis on the ethereal and lyrical than on the noisy and intense (though there is still some of the latter, just as the original series had plenty of the former).

The Book Beri'ah is supposed to be Zorn's last book of Masada compositions and features some of the Zorn family members. Sofia Rei, Julian Lage, Bill Frisell, Kenny Wollensen, Brian Masella, Cyro Baptista and Craig Taborn among others are in this album collection that, as always and faithful to the Zorn style, brings together a completely varied and almost endless catalog of styles and colors. With this new delivery it reaches 613 compositions, the number of 'mitzvot', or commandments, contained in the Jewish Torah. From the initial 'Keter' (crown) which features the voice of Sofia Rei in Spanish accompanied by the bass and saz of JC Maillard to the final duo of pianists formed by Craig Taborn and Vadim Neselovski, called 'Da'at' (knowledge ), whatever you want, from ethereal atmospheres to playful pieces and, as always, intensity. The Masada project is 25 years old and Zorn at 64 years old, I don't think he has anything to prove. His music does not seek to make friends, it is free.

Zorn’s Moonchild is a hardcore song cycle scored for voice, bass and drums. This powerful rock unit features three of his most illustrious, longtime cohorts who have worked together in bands such as Naked City, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle and Electric Masada and are keenly in tune with Zorn’s language and aesthetic. Musicians are always at their best in Zorn projects and Moonchild is no exception. You have never heard these players as up front, on the edge or as inspired as they are here, raging through pieces of terrifying intensity. Drawing on preverbal language and the primal power of rock music, this is Torture Garden with an alchemical twist —spontaneous, complex and evocative.

One of Zorn’s most beloved and unique 21st century ensembles, the Gnostic Trio features the distinctive guitar of Bill Frisell, the vibraphone of Kenny Wollesen and the ethereal harp stylings of Carol Emanuel. The sounds are soulful and heavenly. Frisell’s magical sonorities dance around harp and vibraphone creating a heavenly improvisational counterpoint. Zorn turns to chamber music simplicity with an intimate ensemble of harp, vibraphone and guitar inspired by Early Music, Debussy, the minimalism of Reich, Riley and Glass and esoteric spiritual traditions from around the world. The music is lyrical and hypnotic, perfect for early morning meditation, a lonely afternoon, or midnight contemplation. Performed with great feeling by long time Zorn collaborators Bill Frisell, Carol Emanuel and Kenny Wollesen, who interact with sensitivity and grace; Zorn's most tender and subtle creations.

Although organ was Zorn's first instrument (he often credits Lon Chaney in the silent classic Phantom of the Opera as a primal influence), in 2011 Zorn surprised even his hardcore fans by initiating a new series of solo organ concerts in churches around the world. A perfect outlet for Zorn's dramatic sense of color and contrast, we hear the composer’s mind at work in all its bizarre permutations—huge blocks of sound, chords, clusters, counterpoint, drones, ostinatos, lyrical melodies and more—often all at the same time!

This band's concerts are characterized by intricate arrangements, high-level improvisational skills, deep knowledge of harmony and counterpoint, dynamic chamber group interplay, and a deep sense of musical exploration.

John Zorn's Bagatelles Vol. 6 (2022)(ALAC 16 bits/44.1 kHz; Uploaded)
4 Albums. 43 Songs. 3 hr 11 min.
Inspired in part by the Goldberg Variations and Schoenberg’s solo piano music, “Suite For Piano” is Zorn’s very personal take on some of the oldest traditional classical forms. It is performed here by one of the most dedicated, virtuosic, and passionate interpreters in the Zorn universe, Brian Marsella, whose educational experience (too “jazz” for the classical world and too “classical” for the jazz world) makes him the perfect interpreter of Zorn’s cross-pollinating musical poetics. Accompanied by the telepathic rhythm section of Jorge Roeder and Ches Smith (Heaven and Earth Magick) this is a beautiful and soulful program of music for the classic instrumentation of piano, bass, and drums.

Incerto is the birth of an exciting new modern jazz ensemble featuring the remarkable trio from “Suite for Piano” (Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, Ches Smith) joined by the brilliant guitarist Julian Lage. A quartet capable of anything, this is the perfect group to realize Zorn’s quirky compositional twists and turns. The music is wildly varied—maddeningly complex, powerfully driving, heartbreakingly beautiful—and embraces complex meter changes, atonal melodies, unusual harmonies, and bizarre structural complexity. Inspired by Sartre, Freud, and the Uncertainty Principle, the music explores possibilities, probabilities, inevitabilities, and impossibilities. Modern chamber jazz at its very best!

From March to May 2015, John Zorn composed 300 new tunes that were eventually collected into a book of music he called The Bagatelles. After 5 years of performances around the world in venues large and small, the choicest ensembles have gone into the studio and the recordings are finally being made available in a series of limited edition 4-CD BOX sets. Each set will present four ensembles performing a unique program of Zorn's Bagatelles.

In the late ’70s and early ’80s Zorn presented yearly retrospectives of his game pieces at various Downtown venues. He called these events his Olympiads. Here you will find the building blocks of Zorn’s trademark musical language—virtuosic extended techniques, surprising contrasts, fast group interaction and razor sharp changes. The music is astonishing—filled with strange sounds, odd juxtapositions, stark silences, sudden explosions, and all held together by a bizarre overarching compositional logic. This music can be used as jumping off points for improvisation. The score uses an hermetic language of meticulously notated sounds inspired by contemporary classical extended techniques, cartoons, film noir, Zen philosophy, and the idiosyncratic guitar languages of free improvisation. Vexingly entertaining, these curious releases also contain the most gonzo music ever created for solo guitar!

Much like an aural film, the music jumps from scene to scene with breathtaking precision, following its own peculiar logic. The music is filled with bright light and a childlike innocence, and ranges from long form compositions with constantly shifting time signatures that unfold with a compelling inner logic to mysterious ballads and hypnotic moods. Blending an hypnotic minimalist propulsion with the complex cinematic sweep of Zorn's fast changing extended file card compositions, the music develops from moment to moment in ways both surprising and inevitable. Breathtaking and hauntingly beautiful. Replete with the procedures of distillation, calcination, crystallization, sublimation, purification, rotation as well numerology, prayers, canons, contrapuntal complexity and the ghost of a familiar fugue. Get ready for some of the most beautiful music Zorn has ever made! Here Zorn turns to chamber music simplicity with an intimate ensemble of harp, vibraphone and guitar.

Zorn and Laswell have been friends and musical compatriots since they first met in 1978, and have been responsible for some of the most intense and memorable music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Something special was happening the after the pandemic lockdown—and after the session Laswell felt rejuvenated—as if all the toxins and poisons had left his body. Soulful and essential, the Spectrum series is an historic meeting—and the first recorded duo project by these two Downtown magicians. Here the music takes on more of an ambient edge, and is distinguished by telepathic improvisational interplay and a unique virtuosity.

"As the jewish people continue to grow into the 21st century, they carry their culture along with them. Tradition, history and the past have always played a strong role in the life of the jews but it is also important to think about the future. As we grow as a people, it seems natural that our culture should grow along with us. Just as jazz music has progressed from dixieland to free jazz and beyond in a few short decades, and classical music went from tonality to chromaticism, noise and back again, it has occurred to me that the same kind of growth should be possible, and is perhaps essential for jewish music. Questions arose, as did the need to address them. The cds on the Radical Jewish Culture series is a first attempt at addressing some of these issues. The series is an ongoing project. A challenge posed to adventurous musical thinkers. What is jewish music? What is its future? If asked to make a contribution to jewish culture, what would you do? Can jewish music exist without a connection to klezmer, cantorial or yiddish theatre? All of the cds on the tzadik RJC series address these issues through the vision and imagination of individual musical minds." —John Zorn
